"Alright!"

After seeing Mr. Greco off, Padgett was about to speak, but Adelaide cut in first.

"Emily, I know this is a lot to ask, but I checked in advance—Mr. Greco's project is on a tight timeline. Our only real advantage is speed, so if we want to secure this contract, we have to act quickly. Please put your current work on hold and focus all your time on Mr. Greco’s design draft. I’ll have Edwina and the others assist you."

Padgett frowned. "Tomorrow is Saturday, and since this wasn’t planned ahead of time, even if Emily works through the weekend, it's nearly impossible to finish the drawings. Besides, asking others to come in and work overtime—people might not agree to that."

Adelaide looked troubled. "But I already promised Mr. Greco!"

Padgett spoke in a low, serious voice, "Adelaide, did you even consider all this before making that promise?"

Adelaide replied coolly, "I did it for the benefit of the company, to keep Mr. Greco as a client."

At that moment, a senior designer named Scott stepped in to ease the tension. "I'm free tomorrow. I can come in and work overtime with Emily—help her handle the data."

Emily didn’t want Padgett and Adelaide to argue because of her, so she spoke calmly, "What's most important is our company's reputation. Since we’ve committed to Mr. Greco, I’ll make sure to have the design draft ready for him by Monday."

A smile immediately appeared on Adelaide’s face. "Thank you, Emily. I’ll remember what you’ve done for the company."

Emily returned a gentle, measured smile. "Thank you, Adelaide, for your confidence in me."

After leaving the meeting room, Padgett called Emily into his office and said in a low voice, "Adelaide did that on purpose."

Emily nodded. "I know. Lately she’s been learning about my relationship with you, and she’s intentionally trying to undermine us."

Padgett gave a cold laugh. "She hasn’t been here long, but she’s already trying to throw her weight around. That’s what happens when someone’s used to too much praise and authority."

Emily replied, "As long as we do our jobs well, she won’t be able to cause trouble."
